Our golf course has proven to be a stern test and has stood the test of time for 100 years. Hardscrabble has tested the best players in the world as we hosted Korn Ferry Tour events from 1998-2011. We also hosted the Trans-Miss tournament in 1979 (Champion Mark Brooks) and 1985 (Champion Bob Estes). The contours of the greens, the strategic placement of the bunkers, and tree lined fairways will prove to be a tough test for all the players in the field. The overall champion will have proven themselves and will have all facets of their game tested."
